What Is Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?
Non-surgical skin tightening uses advanced energy-based devices to deliver controlled heat deep into the skin and underlying tissue, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. As these structural proteins rebuild over weeks and months, skin gradually lifts, firms, and tightens, restoring a more youthful, defined appearance without surgery or significant downtime.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every skin tightening treatment is selected based on your unique anatomy and degree of laxity. Whether using focused ultrasound, radiofrequency, or absorbable threads, each technology triggers your body’s natural healing response to produce fresh collagen and elastin for firmer, more lifted skin.
How Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Works
Non-surgical skin tightening follows a proven, comfortable protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani assesses your skin laxity, facial structure, and areas of concern to select the ideal technology and treatment plan
- Focused energy (ultrasound, radiofrequency, or electromagnetic) is delivered to precise depths in the skin and underlying tissue
- Controlled heating triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production
- New structural proteins gradually rebuild, lifting and firming the skin from within over 2-6 months
- Results continue improving for months after treatment as collagen remodeling progresses for a naturally lifted appearance
Areas of Concern We Treat
Jowls & Lower Face
Sagging along the jawline and lower face that creates jowls and an undefined profile. Ultherapy, EMFACE, and PDO threads lift and tighten the lower face to restore a sharper, more youthful jawline contour.
Neck & Submental Area
Loose neck skin, horizontal lines, and loss of definition between the chin and neck. Focused ultrasound and radiofrequency tighten neck skin and improve the cervicomental angle for a more defined profile.
Droopy Eyelids
Heavy, hooded upper eyelids caused by skin laxity and loss of collagen around the eyes. Non-surgical brow lifting with Ultherapy or EMFACE opens the eye area and reduces eyelid heaviness for a more alert, refreshed look.
Nasolabial Folds
Deepening smile lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth caused by volume loss and skin laxity. Skin tightening treatments stimulate collagen along these lines while lifting the midface for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Forehead & Brow
Brow descent and forehead lines caused by gravity and loss of skin elasticity. EMFACE and Ultherapy lift the brow position and tighten forehead skin for a naturally refreshed, more open appearance.
Cheeks & Midface
Loss of volume and skin laxity in the midface and cheeks creates a tired, deflated look. Skin tightening technologies stimulate deep collagen to restore fullness and lift the midface for a rejuvenated, youthful contour.
Our Skin Tightening Technologies
Dr. Avaliani offers multiple advanced platforms for non-surgical skin tightening. Here’s what makes her approach exceptional:
Ultherapy®
The only FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift skin on the face, neck, and chest. Ultherapy bypasses the skin surface to deliver precise energy at foundational depths, stimulating new collagen for a natural lift over 2-3 months.
EMFACE®
A revolutionary device combining synchronized radiofrequency with HIFES electromagnetic energy. EMFACE simultaneously tightens skin and tones facial muscles for a naturally lifted, more defined appearance, no needles, no downtime.
TempSure® ENVI
A radiofrequency device that delivers controlled heating to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin. TempSure ENVI is gentle enough for all skin types and provides gradual, natural-looking tightening with zero downtime.

Does It Hurt?
Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)
Comfort varies by technology. Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy that produces brief, tolerable sensations during treatment, numbing cream and Pro-Nox are available. EMFACE and TempSure ENVI feel like a warm facial massage. PDO thread insertion uses local anesthesia for complete comfort.
Dr. Avaliani prioritizes your comfort at every step. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for all skin tightening treatments. Most sessions take 30-60 minutes, and patients can return to normal activities immediately. Results build gradually over 2-6 months as new collagen forms.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening frequently asked questions
What causes sagging skin?
Sagging skin develops as collagen and elastin break down due to aging, sun exposure, and gravity. Fat depletion and bone thinning also contribute to loose skin on the face, neck, and jawline. Genetics, lifestyle, and hormonal changes can accelerate the process.
How long do results last?
Results from skin tightening treatments can last 1 to 3 years depending on the technology used. Ultherapy results typically last 1 to 2 years. EMFACE results can last up to 12 months. Maintenance sessions can extend your results and continue building collagen over time.
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients see significant improvement after a single session of Ultherapy or EMFACE. Some protocols involve a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced weeks apart. Dr. Avaliani will design the optimal treatment plan based on your degree of laxity and goals during your consultation.
Is there any downtime?
Most skin tightening treatments require zero to minimal downtime. EMFACE and TempSure ENVI have no downtime at all. Ultherapy may cause mild redness or tenderness for a few hours. PDO threads may involve mild swelling for 3 to 5 days. You can return to normal activities the same day for most treatments.
When will I see results?
Some patients notice an initial tightening effect immediately after treatment. The most significant results develop gradually over 2 to 6 months as your body produces new collagen and elastin. Full results from Ultherapy are typically visible at the 3 month mark.
Is skin tightening painful?
Comfort varies by technology. EMFACE and TempSure feel like a warm facial massage. Ultherapy produces brief pulses of focused energy that are tolerable for most patients. Topical numbing cream and Pro-Nox nitrous oxide are available for enhanced comfort during any treatment.
Can I combine skin tightening with other treatments?
Yes. Skin tightening pairs well with dermal fillers for volume restoration, Botox for wrinkle reduction, and laser resurfacing for texture improvement. Dr. Avaliani often combines complementary technologies for comprehensive facial rejuvenation during a single visit.
What areas can be treated?
Non-surgical skin tightening can treat the forehead, brow, around the eyes, cheeks, midface, jawline, neck, chin, and décolletage. The most popular areas are the lower face and jawline for jowl reduction, and the brow area for eyelid lifting.
Am I too young for skin tightening?
There is no minimum age for skin tightening. Many patients in their 30s and 40s use treatments like EMFACE as preventive measures to maintain facial contours and stimulate ongoing collagen production before significant laxity develops. Prevention is always easier than correction.
How is this different from a facelift?
Non-surgical skin tightening uses energy-based devices to stimulate your body’s own collagen production for gradual, natural-looking improvement. A surgical facelift physically repositions tissue. Non-surgical options are ideal for mild to moderate laxity and offer zero to minimal downtime compared to weeks of surgical recovery.
